Is it possible to customize the URL pulldown? When I click in the URL window - I am presented with 6 website options along with various web search options. It would be helpful to modify the options since none of them apply to me. I tried deleting history, playing with the settings/search suggestions/change settings. I want to specify certain websites - and leave it that way. I've tried right clicking the site, shift deleting, contrl deleting. Nothing works. If it is possible - it is not intuitive. I notice that the list does slowly seem to update and evolve depending on where I have been. But I don't want that either. Thx IW

You can customize them on the new tab page when it is set to "Firefox Home (Default)" in settings.

Thanks for the response - and it helped me to eventually figure it out. The thing is I already had Firefox Home (Default) set - and I still couldn't change them. It was a 2 stage issue - and the following needs to be set: 1) Settings/home/firefox home content - must select "shortcuts". Mine was set to "web search". Without this, the URL drop down cannot be modified meaningfully. 2) After "shortcuts" is selected - open a new tab - and a selection of tile-like mini-tab icons will appear just under the URL window. By hovering over each little tab (dots will appear) they can be edited or deleted or the order changed (by dragging around). Modifying these tile-like tabs will change what appears in the URL window drop down. Originally I kept expecting to be able to modify the URL dropdown directly - but no - one has to modify these tile-like mini icons - which will only appear if "shortcuts" is selected.
